Hello everyone! I'm a junior from Michigan eyeing U of M for my undergrad. I know being an in-state student gives me some financial advantages. Can anyone with experience share how much I could expect to pay in tuition as an in-state student?
Absolutely, I'd be glad to help! The University of Michigan's tuition for in-state students fluctuates a little every now and then, but as of the 2024-2025 academic year, the standard in-state tuition and fees for lower division (freshman and sophomore years) cost approximately $17,736 per year.
Now, keep in mind, this estimate only includes tuition and mandatory fees. It does not account for housing, meals, textbooks, or any personal expenses you might have. When you include those estimates, the total cost of attendance is roughly around $36,932 per year for in-state students.
However, remember that your final cost might be lower, depending on any scholarships you earn or financial aid you receive. UMich's financial aid office typically awards aid that meets 100% of demonstrated financial need for in-state students, so be sure to submit your FAFSA and any other necessary financial aid forms on time. The difference between the cost of attendance and your family's expected contribution from the FAFSA (or Student Aid Index, as it's now called) will be covered by your financial aid package.
Also, don't forget to check out UMich's net price calculator for a more personalized estimate based on your family's finances and your intended program of study. Hope this helps!
